    we first ate at this restaurant five years ago when we came to town. After moving here, we decided…read moreto try it again. It wasn't very good. It was bland not much to it. I kept reading reviews saying how wonderful it was now. So we went last night. I have to say it was incredibly good. We both enjoyed it and look forward to eating there again!! I'm sensitive to sodium and typically chinese is do salty. Pleasantly, I could actually taste the ingredients. Egg fro soup was beautiful. We had the family Dinner S for two. Chicken was fresh and shrimp were large. Sweet and Sour sauce was so balanced. Server was very busy, but not too busy to not check in with us throughout the evening.

One being the China palace. So ok down the street I went. Walked in and was pleasantly surprised at the friendliness of the atmosphere. The owner chyanne greeted me in a friendly voice. I always appreciate small town nice. I placed my order and it was delivered to my table quickly and hot off the stove. First bite I thought, this tastes pretty good. I am not a person who eats much food. By second bite good turned to delicious. I ate my entire meal. Yes I did eat at different restaurants up and down main street, but always came back over and over to the China palace ​

    Amy's Lunch Fiesta: A Review by Someone Who Now Believes in Culinary Miracles…read more Today I had lunch at Amy's. I expected a casual affair--maybe a sandwich, some chips, and polite small talk. What I got instead was a full-blown flavor intervention featuring Mexican Lentil Soup, a Pork Fajita Panini, and a Mexican potato salad that may or may not have whispered sweet nothings to my taste buds. Mexican Lentil Soup: This soup came in hot--both literally and flavor-wise. Imagine lentils with a master's degree in spicy sass and a minor in making you question every bland soup you've ever tolerated. It was hearty, zesty, and just the right amount of kick. " I briefly considered bottling it and using it as a cologne: Eau de Amy's Soup--smells like comfort and confidence. Pork Fajita Panini: First off, it's bold to turn a fajita into a panini. That's like asking a mariachi band to perform in an elevator--tight space, but big results. The pork was juicy, the bread was perfectly grilled, and each bite was like a well-choreographed salsa dance on my tongue. Somewhere between the caramelized onions and the cheese oozing like it was paid to perform, I think I saw God. Mexican Potato Salad: Look, I've had potato salad. We all have. But Amy's Mexican potato salad rolled up to the party in a sombrero and kicked the door down. Creamy, tangy, and spiced just enough to make me wonder if the potatoes were grown with personality. If regular potato salad is that friend who always brings napkins to the potluck, this one is the friend who shows up with tequila, guac, and zero apologies. Final Verdict: Amy didn't serve lunch. She served a culinary experience with enough flavor to convince me that my usual microwave burrito is a crime against humanity. If she ever opens a restaurant, I'm investing. If she ever stops cooking, I'm rioting. 11/10, would beg for leftovers.

    Amazing food!! I cannot recommend enough, my family and I got the turkey havarti panini, the…read morebuffalo chicken wrap, the thai chicken bowl, and a cup of the tomato meatball soup. It was all delicious ESPECIALLY the soup! Amy's service was very welcoming and the food came out fast! We will definitely be stopping here every time we pass through in the future!

    This is a great little stop in the middle of nowhere. The service was fast and friendly. Our server…read morewas the only one working and he kept a smile on his face and kind words the whole time even though he was very busy. We tried a variety of items. Our faves were the buffalo chicken wings and steak bites with an interesting and tasty cocktail type sauce. We asked for our burger to be medium rare which was met with the response they would try but truly don't expect it. Well, he was right. Just take it like it comes. Consider yourself lucky there's even a place like this out there. The fries had a coating on them that we don't prefer, but it seems to be getting more popular. The ham and cheese was our least favorite. The flavor of the ham wasn't to our liking. The ambience was def worth it. Overall, a nice and relaxing stop.

    This review is a really hard one to write, where do I even start…read more... And keep in mind, I sell food to restaurant for a living on the Oregon coast and I am very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the restaurant industry. First off, if you look at the location of this establishment... they are REMOTE. They are so far out into the Idaho backcountry! It's just simply amazing that a place like this even exists this day and age. We rented snowmobiles in McCall and road them on the trail all the way to this place. We made this trip in -20 degree temps, and to say it was worth it is an absolute understatement. The service was outstanding! I really wish I could remember the name of our waitress, but I am HORRIBLE at remembering names. Luckily this town has a population of 8 people... So I am hopeful that she will get credit for this experience. We spent an entire week in the Cascade and McCall Idaho area and ate out at MANY restaurants. The sad thing about that is that the best food we had the entire trip was at the Baum Shelter! A little restaurant in the middle of no where can provide better service and better food than the places in Cascade and McCall?!? And they don't even have running water in the winter! All the other places we ate at should be ashamed of themselves. We ate at Grandmas and Reo's pizza in Cascade, and we ate at Lardos and McCall Brewing in McCall. These restaurants get food delivered right to their back door from places like Sysco or US foods. And on top of that, they have a bigger population available to staff their establishment and more selection to hire well qualified people. How is it that a place like the Baum Shelter can have better food, better service and better ambiance than a place in town!? For crap sake, the Baum Shelter has to ride a snowmobile 30 miles each way to McCall in the winter, once a week to get food for the restaurant. That's INSANE. We started off with Jalapeno poppers and mushroom soup. The poppers were fresh, hot and delicious. They were hand made poppers and they were not breaded and fried like most other places. These jalapenos were filled with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon, and they do not disappoint. The Hungarian mushroom soup was outstanding, and believe me... this was not soup from a can. This was house made from scratch and had a depth of flavor and quality. We then had a burger and chicken strips. The burger was awesome! Good quality patty, good quality cheese, good hearty ciabatta bun and cooked to perfection! And a house made BBQ Sauce, which was to die for. And as the chicken strips, they are probably the best chicken strips I've had at a place. When we ordered them, I just assumed they would be some pre made Tyson product that is pre breaded and just deep fried... but NO! These were hand breaded and cooked perfectly. They do a unique cornmeal style breading on the chicken strips that I have not seen since I lived in South Carolina. And they were not dry either, which was awesome. Even served with HOUSE MADE ranch, which was way better than the crap in a bottle. Hands down a totally fantastic visit at this place and we look forward to returning soon! Absolutely without a doubt in my mind 10/10 would 100% recommend this establishment.
